I went hog wild

GoneButNotForgotten — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 21:35:13 GMT

First of all, where did the phrase "hog wild" come from? It sounds American to me.

Anyway, I finally sprang for a new Paperwhite, since the kindle I had was older than dirt. And then I bought a "Hello Kitty" cover for it! ("Hello Kitty" is kind of a running joke in my family.

The new one is SO much faster and easier to read than the old one.

Paperwhite is a type of e-reader from Amazon, I think.

I guess I should have said E-reader.

You can buy electronic books at a fairly low price and keep them forever. You can also download books that cost nothing if they're Kindle Unlimited. I have tons of those; once in a while I'll pay full price if it's something I really want but in 99% of cases, I won't pay more than $10 and I'd have to want it pretty bad to pay that kind of money.

@SharkE It's a Kindle E Reader. I've had one for ages (actually on my 2nd one) and wouldn't have any other e reader. Do a search to find out more info.

@ECBG I thought that is hello kitty. But @GoneButNotForgotten said "Hello Litty." Is there a "friend" named that or what??????

OK, Now I see that @GoneButNotForgotten corrected the typo.

@SharkE An e-reader! A wonderful thing. No more looking for books and dragging them around. And you can get books instantly to read--don't have to wait.

I got my husband one that you can write on and he is crazy about it. He does crosswords and makes notes and such.

Enjoy an update to your ereader. They are the best. Love how the font can be made larger 🤓

Sure you already have installed Libby. If not, do it and wander thru more books than you can ever read - for free!
